Latest Project

Recently, my granddaughter tried to cuddle up under her I Spy quilt that I'd made for her when she was two. She'll soon be six! She told my DD that she needed a bigger quilt - such a nice problem for a grandmother to have LOL!! So since her birthday theme this year is owls and birds, here is the rough outline of her new quilt. Here's the next stage with a few leaves added. I'm not really sure what I'm doing... but I've fused the tree trunk down, and at this point I think I'm going to hand applique everything else. My machine applique skills are not very good. It's the next thing I want to learn, just think now is not the time.

I'll keep you posted as it progresses. It's really going to be cute - I hope!!!Until next time,

About Me

I have been married to my college sweetheart for 43 years. We have 2 married children and 4 grandchildren. Born and raised in Rochester, NY I started my first quilt in 1969 and have been crazy about fabric ever since. The quilting bug grabbed me for real in 1982 and has never let go.
